There is another thread pertaining to why are people on this forum so nasty when they're supposed to be Christians ...something like that. Well, Bruce Gerencser spent 25 years pastoring Evangelical churches. He wrote an article entitled: Why Are Some Christians So Nasty?" The link to this...

This section IS a Christian debate forum and I'm willing to debate with you ANY of the scriptures that give you cause to demean another human being. Are you game?

Ever do any thinking for yourself, KingJ? I find it quite worrysome when scriptures replace one's ability to speak for themselves.

But yet, as I mentioned in another post, even when a gay couple want to do 'the right thing' and commit themselves to one another in a monogamous relationship they are STILL damned by Christians. And why? I see no prohibitions in the Bible with regard to gay marriage. As far as I know these...

Very good point! Naturally, you will get your fair share of slams from others on the forum for stating this. :) What must be absolutely frustrating for a gay person is knowing that, to some, especially Christians, they are damned if they're seen as being promiscuous but they are just as damned...

And, let me point this out to you: Jesus said, "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." (Matthew 7:5; Luke 6:42) THIS, Meshak, is the verse that refers to those sinners ("Hypocrites," Jesus calls them)...

I don't recall any place where I have advocated sin. I do believe, however, that the term 'sin' as so loosely bandied around by Christians is meaningless rhetoric and nothing less. No one has the right to point the finger at anyone else. Homosexuality per se is not a sin. Heterosexuality per...

MY WORD that I did not initiate any homosexual thread should be good enough. Please ...and I mean this ...while we might be in disagreement on this issue don't question my integrity! That's the one thing I have that I can say that I'm proud of. What you see is what you get, no frills, no...

I don't initiate the threads on homosexuality. The anti-homosexuals do. Obviously, all THEY want to talk about is homosexuality. As a member of the forum I respond with my own thoughts, just the same as you. However, besides sarcastic one-liners it seems that you're incapable of countering...

What is it about homosexuality that mainstream Christians find so hard to deal with? Why such militance from so many whenever the subject is raised? The Bible in its entirety only mentions the topic about 5 times - FIVE TIMES! - and yet one could be forgiven for believing (thanks to the...

Selene: I really don't care if a person is gay or not. KCKID: Well, clearly you do. Sorry I have to post in this manner. Apparently it isn't possible to respond to portions of paragraphs. Oh well . . . Selene: What bothers me is when they come in and FORCE Christians including the Church...

As long as one continues to sin (There is NONE righteous, no, not one. Romans 3:10) then they obviously justify their sin. Even those who believe in their own righteousness.

Often but not always ... wheat=me chaff=someone else

All you need to say is, "Your questions have got me stumped." I can handle it! <sigh> ...I'm getting just as narcissistic as some of the rest of you. Time for a reality check . . . ;) They want 'US' to believe? Who the heck do you think you are ...? What you say above in the same...

The question itself is a ridiculous one. I could just as well ask of you, Rex, "Do YOU sin?" And, if you were honest, you would say, "Yes, I DO sin." I could then let the matter rest and remain non-judgmental or I could pry even further and ask you to give me a list (I'm sure there's a list...

Well, I'm glad you asked. You were referencing Jesus and his associating with the 'sinners' of the day. So, I will look to Jesus for the answer to the question you asked of me. KCKID flips diligently through the pages of the 4 Gospels. Hmmm . . .nope ...I haven't come across any place where...

Hmmm . . .why is it, I wonder, why none of the um, shall I say 'religious ones', present scriptures such as those above that clearly demonstrate what Jesus was all about? Obviously, they have an agenda that is quite clearly not that of the Jesus they claim to follow. And, they are blind to...

Oh my goodness ..you WERE serious. Fanaticism anyone . . .?

What Jesus was doing was calling people out for being hypocrites and promoting double standards. Just as YOU are doing. If you were to bring a homosexual to Jesus for judgment it would be YOU who Jesus would judge! Read the story again without the prideful and prejudiced blinders! You...

Obviously, you gest . . .? Until I know that you're serious and not using irony I can't respond to this post. Again ...????
